What issue are you seeing?

When using Codex for browser-based tasks, it frequently exhausts its available token/context budget before completing the work.

The typical workflow is:

Codex opens the browser.
Signs into websites.
Navigates through WordPress, Search Console, GitHub, Cloudflare, or other dashboards.
Makes partial progress.
Eventually reports that it has run out of usage or loses enough context that it can no longer complete the task.

Once this happens, the agent often begins navigating back and forth between pages or repeatedly asks to continue instead of actually finishing the work.

This is especially problematic during large website debugging sessions involving many sequential steps.

The browser session may still be active, but the agent effectively loses the context required to continue.

The attached screenshot also shows:

"You're out of Codex and Work usage"

after the workflow was only partially completed.

What is the expected behavior?

What is the expected behavior?

Codex should:

Preserve enough context to complete long browser workflows.
Resume where it left off instead of effectively starting over.
Avoid navigation loops after the context window or usage limit is reached.
Handle complex, multi-step debugging sessions without abandoning the task halfway through.

Additional information

This is not simply a browser automation issue.

The browser works well.

The problem is that long workflows consume the available context or usage budget before completion. Once that happens, the browser session remains open, but the agent can no longer reason effectively about everything it has already done, making it difficult or impossible to finish complex tasks.

This is particularly noticeable for WordPress development, SEO audits, and technical website debugging that require dozens of sequential actions.

I would also attach the screenshot you included, since it shows the "You're out of Codex and Work usage" message, which helps illustrate the problem.
